Steal Back Your Vote

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008

A common assertion—among Democrats, at least—is that the 2000 and even the 2004 US presidental elections were “stolen” by the GOP. In many cases they’re referring to voter suppression, of which there is substantial evidence. In many cases, it only seems to be getting worse; Time magazine has a feature article outlining 7 Things That Could Go Wrong on Election Day. It’s a bipartisan problem—one only needs to look at the recent ACORN scandal to see the Democrats stumble the same as the Republicans.

Recognizing that this problem isn’t going away before such a crucial election, Greg Palast and Bobby Kennedy Jr. have created a comic (and film) to educate voters on what shenanigans they’re likely to encounter on Election Day, and how to avoid them.

Head over to the website to download the comic by either making a donation or filling in your e-mail address, or order print copies for a group. Next Tuesday is Election Day—make sure your vote is counted!
